man, there are some people pissed off by the ending of "Seeing Red." of course, all most of them can say is "You lied to us! You betrayed us! Fuck you! I'm not watching this show ever again! The ratings are slipping anyway!" (that last one, as i linked a couple of weeks ago, is very untrue)

also, i had a nice long response ready to post there, but it won't let me. it seems that someone is trying to steal my identity by already registering my name. bastard. if i find you, whomever ye may be, i'll flog you visciously.

i've got that stupid Mooby song from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back stuck in my head.

would it be blasphemous of me to wonder whether Spike could take down Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter?

SF Gate on Eliza Dushku: Give this young actress a 'V' for versatility.

No one's writing articles about me for being versatile

still sad.

The Essense of Amber

i am so broken up right now. i fell off the Buffy spoiler-wagon a few days ago, and i knew what was coming, but i still blubbered.

clarifying my "Gabriel Byrne is a man!" exclamation, i don't think his gender was in doubt for most people. there are just some actors that i can't ever remember for some reason. Mr. Byrne is one of them. i've seen a few of his films, but for some reason i just can't keep in my mind an association of his face with his name. they may as well be two distinct entities.

much like Juliette Binoche. know the name. can never remember who she is. same with Juliette Lewis. Cate Blanchett? i know i like her. don't know who she is unless i'm watching one of her films. Angelina Jolie and Catherine Zeta-Jones are the same person in my mind (and have they ever been seen together? hmm...)

i've made some progress though. i can now keep Uma Thurman and Nicole Kidman straight, and when it comes to Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Willa Ford, i know who Britney is (the one who looks artificial; also she's the one who exudes 'Whore'), and i can usually distinguish Willa from Christina because i don't get Willa confused with Shakira.

so you see, it wasn't a personal slight against Mr. Byrne.

you know, when you read that James Doohan is in a coma and not expected to recover, you feel a little cheated when, less than two minutes later, you read that he's not comatose. not that i want him to be in a coma. it's just that, when you read the first one, and you start getting all sad and doing the whole "All my childhood heros are going!" thing, but the next moment you know he's ok, that it was just a rumor, you feel like you've been manipulated.

was it really so important to report it before, say, talking to his manager? i enjoy celebrity rumors, of the type concerning who's sleeping with whom, who's been crossdressing, who Prince William has been spotted with, the whole Affleck-Damon rumor that won't go away and things of that nature. they're fun. and they're meaningless (despite Tom Cruise's civil suit). geez, a little fact checking would be nice before you go putting me in a deep melancholy for the day.

on a totally unrelated note, my sisters dropped by on Sunday and told me that Steve from Blue's Clues had died of a drug overdose last week. poor guy. he didn't learn his lesson the first time he died.

my sisters crack me up. i'm glad they didn't tell my nephews.

Giles, BBC, Tony Head thing. concerning the proposed Giles spin off. or if you prefer, read the same thing here.

Gabriel Byrne is a man! why am i just now finding out about this?

Joss, on Buffy and Angel: "What I always say is: Guys, they're on two different networks. There's no way. Buffy and Angel physically could not exist. If they were on the same network, we would have done the Buffy-Spike thing anyway. But we probably would have had a crossover moment when they would go, "You're sleeping with whom?!" It became difficult in the third year to truly bring change to Buffy and Angel. People want to watch change. Growth. They want climax." [from a Wanda Q&A. i don't think it's spoilery, but don't trust me. stay away!]

damn my parents for not being British.

a misprint on the source information here at TVGuide has substituted the cast of Iron Monkey for that of Serendipity. would have made Serendipity a much more interesting film. you know, swords and martial arts and all.
